The green flag waves on the 2020 governor race

[TexasTowelie]

INDIANAPOLIS — Although the primary election is 10 months away, the Democratic race to challenge the Republican incumbent, Gov. Eric Holcomb, in 2020 is already intensifying.

Wednesday, Dr. Woody Myers, a former state health commissioner, will hold a press conference in front of the Eskenazi Hospital emergency room for an announcement that is expected to make him the first Democrat to officially get into the race for governor.

He’ll be showcasing some early support as well, as former U.S. Rep. Baron Hill, a Blue Dog Democrat, will be standing next to him.

Two more likely candidates for the primary are State Sen. Eddie Melton of Gary and Rep. Karlee Macer of Indianapolis. While neither has made a bid official yet, Melton will be in Indianapolis Thursday as part of a statewide series of forums on education.

1. Holcomb will be hard to beat.

He hasn't done anything special to get Republicans excited about him, but he hasn't had any major screwups either and for a Democrat to win statewide in Indiana, the Republican candidate usually has to make a major mistake.
